How and Why Chart Signals Are Failing in the Current Market. . .

What Media, Pundits, and Even Supposed "Gurus" Don't Know. . .

Our Volatility Model SOLUTION Clocked an Expected Payoff of 240% in 2009, with an Astoundingly Low Drawdown of Only 9.5%.

And Right Now. . . There's More to Come...

wallstreetrockstar-special-report-package-image-1

Dear Reader,

If you feel like markets are a mess right now, you're not alone...

Even more exasperating, if you feel like chart signals just aren't providing reliable trading information anymore, you're definitely not alone…

Fact is, charting signals that may have worked yesterday, last week, or even one month ago…are just not working anymore.

There's two reasons for this devastating breakdown tearing so many retail traders to pieces in the current day…

1. Current market volatility coupled with a mass retail army using the same "presets" is triggering all out "signal failure."

2. Many of the traditional technical signals even "pros" and "gurus" have come to rely on…were built for failure from the start.

What we're here to do…is to attempt to level the playing field for regular traders, showing why and how everyday technical analysis is currently producing misleading signals in the current market…

There's more to the story though… See, what we're going to expose here…you won't find an explanation of within mainstream sources…

Really, one of the main solutions for traders and investors trying to make it on their own... isn't all that complicated...

Almost anyone who is willing to dedicate a few hours can understand how to put the odds back in their favor once again… Even in spite of today's seemingly insane volatility within markets…

By the end of this email readers should start to see why and how the paradigm of technicals failing is so prevalent today…

What's more, we're going to unveil Dharma8 (our newest volatility model), which climbed a fierce 240% in 2009.

Good afternoon traders, please allow me a moment to introduce myself… My name is Mark Whistler; I am a full-time trader, the author of seven books and the founder of WallStreetRockStar.com and fxVolatility.com.

My books include:

mark-whistler-author-trader-wallstreetrockstar

  • Volatility Illuminated: Empowering Stocks, Futures, Forex & Options Traders (CreateSpace, 2009)
  • 2034 The Corporation Post 2012 (CreateSpace, 2009)
  • Swing Trader’s Bible (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2009) co-authored with Matt McCall
  • Trade With Passion and Purpose (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2007)
  • Trading Pairs (Wiley, 2004)
  • Profit from China (Investment U/Wiley, 2006)
  • Profit from Uranium (Investment U/Wiley, 2006.)

You may have seen me on CNBC, or perhaps you might have caught one of my recent global trading Webinars on fxStreet.com, arguably the world's largest Forex source for retail traders.

Again, please understand that I am a full time trader...

I do not receive a "salary" from any employers whatsoever… My income comes from my books and trading for a living.

  • I'm not an analyst who lives in a bubble - who never trades real money, and thus hasn't a clue about how markets really work.
  • I'm not a pundit who constantly squawks on television, but has never really traded for a living and thus...makes bogus calls.
  • I'm not a broker and have no affiliation with any brokerages whatsoever.
  • I'm not a newsletter writer sitting in an office, trying to find a "hot pick" to recommend to readers…that I wouldn't be willing to put my own risk capital behind.

In short, reader, I've been around this business for almost 15 years and I've seen it all.

  • I've seen big-mouth newsletter writers claim "market guru" status, but really couldn't trade their way out of a paper bag.
  • I've seen -first hand- television producers tell pundits to "hype it up", attempting to create synthetic buzz in markets.
  • I've seen book authors and newsletters literally rip off ideas, because they're too worthless to come up with their own.
  • I've seen "market pros" tell the investing public to "buy now!" on the precise day the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped underneath 10,000 in October 2008 - and then lost almost 30% more in the following three months.
  • I've seen so much bad stuff in markets that I'm absolutely determined to be one of the last good guys around.
  • I've decided to start bringing truths of markets to investors and traders, no matter how much backlash I receive from colleagues, analysts, newsletters, and media.

I've decided to start exposing all of the junk retail traders are taught to accept as truth… When really, 99% of it is nothing more than "hot air" built for failure.

wallstreetrockstar-special-report-package-reader-response-1

And I've decided to start with one of most commonly accepted areas - technical analysis - which so many traders have accepted as truth, when the bulk is really nothing more than poison, just waiting to hit your portfolio…

I'm going to show you how even "the math" behind a few technical tools was built for failure from the start.

Worry not though, because after I show how technicals are hurting traders in today's markets, I will provide solutions, to help overcome this troublesome paradigm…

  • Solutions which were developed by real traders, for real traders.
  • Solutions that I use in my own personal trading every day, right now.
  • Solutions that were instrumental in the development of Dharma8, which is posting triple-digit expected payoff results right now…

Poisoned Technicals Unveiled...

If you've ever had a "hunch" there might be something wrong with technicals…

You were right...

Just to name a few tools that supposedly help traders and investors make money in markets...

  • MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
  • Stochastics
  • CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
  • Fibonacci...

Each of the above technical tools are either built for failure, or the explanation of such to traders and investors - from mainstream sources- is so wrong, losses are virtually inevitable when attempting to use the aforementioned in real time, in real markets.

If you've ever used common technical tools while attempting to trade, and suddenly found your positions not working out…this bulletin is for you…

Let's crack one open right here… Right now… Just to prove it…

Ever heard of stochastics?

Stochastics is one of the most common technical indicators within markets, used by millions of traders and by thousands of "professionals." And yet, the indicator was built for failure from the start…

Check this out…

volatility-illuminated-stochastics-false-signals

In the chart to the right, readers will notice the Euro|US Dollar, on a one-hour basis… Interestingly, in the bottom oscillator "stochastics" provides seven signals in the period measured, four of which are accurate and three of which, fail…

What we're talking about is a 42% failure rate…

Are you serious - 40% false signals?

You bet…

Now let me explain why…

We must take a moment to look into the formula for stochastics for the answer…

Please don't worry too much about the math, just understand the theory...

The formula for stochastics is relatively simple, containing three main parts…

1. %K = 100 * [(Recent Close - Lowest Low) / Highest High (n) - Lowest Low (n)]

2. %D = 3-Period Moving Average of % K (This is the "signal line.")

3. (n) = Number of periods used in calculation.

Here's really all you need to know about the above formula…

In part #1, %K - The first part of the formula is calculated as "Recent Close - Recent Low."

On a common sense basis, does there appear to be anything wrong with calculating the indicator with "Recent Close - Recent Low"?

If you just asked, "What about the high?" You're right on the money…

The way stochastics is currently calculated, the formula completely leaves out any acknowledgement of the recent high.

What this means is the indicator is only accounting for half of the data and thus, completely missing the other half…

And that's why the indicator is seemingly wrong over 40% of the time…

Need more proof?

We recoded the indicator to include "Recent High - Recent Close", instead of the traditional "Recent Close - Recent Low"… And check out what we observed…

The indicator now shows signals exactly opposite the traditional "broken code."

What we're saying is by recoding the other side of the equation into the indicator, we immediately observed the other 40% of the missing signals…

wallstreetrockstar-stochastics-recoded-to-include-high-minus-close

No wonder retail traders lose! They've been spoon-fed an indicator that is BUILT TO FAIL almost 40% of the TIME!

In some cases, they've even been fed the indicator by "pros" and "gurus" who don't even know the junk they're peddling is horribly broken…

And it makes sense that these supposed "pros" and "gurus" don't know really…

After all, most don't even trade with real money, which is why they wouldn't know.

It's like someone teaching people to drive a car, when he's never even been behind the wheel himself…

So many of the supposed "gurus" have never even driven the "trading car" themselves, but that won't stop them from telling the world they are an "expert." [sigh]

In today's lightening fast, high volatility markets, there's just got to be another solution that actually works for retail traders…

No more newsletter and media hype… No more bogus technical indicators built to fail half of the time…

No more just "hoping the signal will hold…"

It's time to start utilizing tools and methodologies that have rock solid probability, helping to ascertain why a signal will hold tomorrow, other than just "hoping it will" based on the fact that it was observed showing a correct signal yesterday…

We need empirical proof of why a signal will work tomorrow, over yesterday, other than the fact that it "just did" work yesterday for whatever mysterious reason the "pros" and "gurus" can't really explain when pinned down…

Right now, it's time to start seeing volatility illuminated, putting the power of trading back on your side once and for all…

Why Volatility Illuminated is so Powerful

I've just spent the past five years writing Volatility Illuminated - a 377 page book specifically geared to help you understand why and how technicals are built for failure in today's market, while also showing precisely how to help put the odds of markets and trading back in your corner again.

But I don't want to just present you with a book and then walk away… I am so determined to help level the playing field for traders within markets - finally - that I've also designed a set of custom indicators within markets to help actually provide REAL signals for REAL traders…

I've developed several custom MetaTrader indicators that come with Volatility Illuminated…

volatility-illuminated-reader-response-two

The indicators are based in statistics, probability and physics…

One indicator, Whistler Active Volatility Energy Price Mass (WAVE PM) measures energy within markets, and is based on Newton's Second Law of Motion…

Specifically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.

Don't worry though, the indicators are EASY TO UNDERSTAND and EASY TO USE. I've built them so any trader can put them to work right now.

I personally use these indicators EVERY DAY.

With your Volatility Illuminated e-Book, you will also receive my Custom Indicator Package containing:

Four (4) Brand New Custom Indicators for Trading Price Mass, Volatility, Probability, Institutional Order Flow and Containment Zone Mean Reversion and Divergence with Subset Distribution Movement

To recap, with your 377-page Volatility Illuminated eBook, you will also receive - totally free - 4 brand new indicators (coded for MetaTrader, a FREE trading and charting platform) and 8 custom volatility templates to start trading with right now…

Seems like a ton of information and technology right? How much would you normally expect to pay for a 377-page eBook AND 4 custom indicators AND 8 trading templates?

$500.00, $1,000.00, or perhaps $5,000.00?

Well here's the thing… With your eBook, custom indicators, and templates, I'm ALSO going to toss in EIGHT WEEKS OF FREE TRADING WEBINARS, where you will learn how to trade the new volatility model I mentioned at the beginning of this email…

The Webinars are interactive too, so you can ask me any question in the entire world about any facet of markets and of course, about the eBook and/or indicators.

You will be able to talk to me DIRECTLY during the eight weeks of Webinars…

Asking any and all questions to help learn, digest and implement the methods and strategies (along with clearly understanding how common technicals are built for failure) in Volatility Illuminated.

Volatility Illuminated is timely, empowering, applicable, and can help traders understand erratic movements within markets once and for all.

There's even more to the story though… On top of the Webinars, eBook, 4 custom indicators and 8 trading templates, I'm even going to throw in one last Special Report, which I believe every trader must be aware of right now…

Bonus Special Report: The Secret Federal Reserve Financial Crisis Leverage Poised to Turn Every $1 into $6.12 (512% Surge!!!) within 30 to 110 Days...

Most Forex traders "just know" that on a common sense basis, trading with 50 to 1, 100 to 1, 200 to 1, or even 400 to 1 leverage is very, very dangerous. But what if one of the world's largest central banks was leveraged almost the same amount, upwards of 40 to 1; would you be concerned about the stability of the nation's markets? How about the larger economy?

the-wall-street-journal-excerpt-federal-reserve

Here's the thing… It's rare traders have the opportunity to take a position with the Federal Reserve, meaning taking a position at the perfect place in time, at pristine price levels, where clear institutional support resides...

By "institutional support", we really mean, "at levels where if the Federal Reserve doesn't step into markets, America's Central Bank fails..."

No Joke… It's really happening… And it's happening right now…

As of the third week of January 2010, the opportunity we're talking about is wide open, but the window will not be available for long…

The Federal Reserve cannot continue to take on the extraordinary amount of risk currently residing on its balance sheet and thus, must begin unwinding some of its most risky positions, or effect monetary policy to keep some of its assets from being wiped out…

But because interest rates are presently - virtually - at zero, the Fed has painted itself into a corner…

Something Wall Street has yet to clearly see… News of this situation is starting to trickle into markets, though you'd have to be looking very closely to spot it…

On January 12, 2010, a small 306-word article by staff writer Peter Eavis appeared on the back page of The Wall Street Journal, which as usual, mainstream media completely ignored…

But listen to what the article said:

"The Fed's asset purchases did help avert a possible depression. But they've also weakened the dollar, fueled frothy assets markets, and stopped long-overdue adjustments to the economy and financial system.

They could also stoke inflation if maintained too long. If these cons start to obviously outweigh the pros, the Fed's policies could quickly be discredited.

And since printing money is the last trick in its bag, its failure would take the central bank into dark, uncharted territory."

- The Wall Street Journal

January 12, 2010

You did just read the words: "its failure" specifically in relation to the Federal Reserve…right now.

Here's what the author is talking about:

Because the Federal Reserve has currently leveraged its assets to the blowout tune of 43 times its capital, an itty 3% decline in US Treasuries and Fannie Mae | Freddie Mac (with the Dow around 10,800) would completely erase the Federal Reserve's gains from the face of the earth…

Goldman Sachs, the world's most elite investment bank won't leverage its assets more than 15-times capital, just to show you how dangerous the Fed's current predicament is…

Consequently, the Federal Reserve currently has a vested stake in ensuring markets move in lock step to keep its own balance sheet from completely imploding…

Traders and Investors who understand the situation at hand right now have the chance to lock in triple-digit profits within 30-days to three months, as the real "risk aversion" play commences in US and global markets.

We're talking about...

  • 512% possible gains in one currency poised to storm forward…
  • 128% surge in one currency option padded for time-risk, allowing investors plenty of time for trade to work out.
  • 18.1% burst in a straight ETF play for those who prefer stocks over Options and Forex trading.

Federal Reserve Foxes Running the Hen House

The US Economic recovery is in an incredibly fragile state right now, given the Federal Reserve completely has its hands tied with the total and complete oversaturation of the money supply…

In fact, the US Senate is expected to raise America's debt ceiling to $1.9 trillion in the last weeks of January 2010…

The government is printing money like it's going out of style, sinking further and further into debt…

The President is even now talking about "reducing the national debt" because he knows the United States is in big, big trouble…

Here's the kicker...

Even though fourth quarter advance GDP just clocked in at 5.7%, don't get too excited…

Economics 101 says a country cannot expand the money supply quicker than the supply of goods; otherwise, inflation rears up like an angry dog, starved for weeks on end.

What we're talking about is not pretty, as inflation that is due to too much money being pumped into the economy, while at the same time GDP Growth is NOT consummate with the liquidity being pumped into markets…

See, there's a thing in markets called a "base effect", which is really the base-line whereby year-over-year numbers are measured…

The problem is because commodities and markets fell through the floor in late 2008 and early 2009, inflation numbers are now being measured against extremely low prices of the fourth quarter 2009 and the first two quarters of 2010.

The "base effect" means inflation is about to kick up, which media will be all over…because, well… that's just what they do…

The issue is…to thwart inflation, the central bank must either reign in the money supply, or raise rates… Sliming the money supply (liquidity) means utilizing reverse-repos, a short-term banking money tool, selling assets into markets, or raising rates, all of which could hurt consumers and indexes…

Moreover, in the current market, raising rates would kill any hope of economic recovery, as mortgage rates rocket, while credit comes to even more of a standstill.

Do you see this horrible predicament the United States has created for itself?

The main issue is when the US first began pumping cash into the economy (and banks) the money never made it to consumers, small businesses, or virtually any of the middle class... Only big-banks and corporations got rich from the "stimulus," while the little guy…got a big fat helping of nothing…

As the recovery is on VERY frail ground, it's hard to believe the Federal Reserve has overleveraged itself to a point where equity markets simply cannot move any higher… Let me explain... See, bonds (Treasuries) trade inverse to stocks, meaning when stocks rise, bond prices fall and vice versa… Becuase the Federal Reserve has overloaded itself with Treasuries AND stocks, the central bank has really painted itself into a corner... If bonds fall, the Federal Reserve's gains are wiped out... Keep in mind, when bonds fall, stocks go up... Do you see what I'm saying... Stocks are at a point where the Federal Reserve can't afford to see equity markets move much higher...

With the Dow near 113-year fair value (near 11,000, with a century-average PE ratio of 15.5), fresh highs for stocks would mean new lows for bond prices, which in-turn would indicate premium deterioration of the Federal Reserve's massive positions is purchased throughout 2008 and 2009…

The Federal Reserve is no longer an impartial third-party regulator of banks and monetary policy, the central bank has become a speculator, just like any other schmooze attempting to make money in markets… When the central bank suddenly has a stake in the outcome (direction) of markets (to pad its own stock and bond positions) clearly, the situation is nothing more than a case of the fox running the hen house.

I've put together a special report to help investors with this issue titled, "The Secret Federal Reserve Financial Crisis Leverage" and right now, it could turn every $1 into $6.12 (512% Surge!!!) within 30 to 110 Days…

The report shows investors how to value the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the present market, how to capitalize on low volatility, while also setting up a US Dollar trading plan for not only the next 30-days, but all the way through 2011 as well…

There's no time to waste, because markets are not going to remain calm for long and volatility is on the eve of a large spike…

Please do not waste time…

The Secret Federal Reserve Financial Crisis Leverage report ALONE is worth $99.99, but for a very short time, the report will be included in your Volatility Illuminated package containing:

  1. 377-Page eBook: Volatility Illuminated.
  2. Free Bonus: 4-Custom indicators "ready built" for MetaTrader.
  3. Free Bonus: 8-Custom templates - ready for you start trading with right now.

  5. Free Special Report: The Secret Federal Reserve Financial Crisis Leverage

volatility-illuminated-full-special-report-package

Total price: $99.99, but only for limited time… There's no time to waste. This offer (and opportunity in markets) won't be around for long…

Again, don't forget your extra free bonus: EIGHT WEEKS of LIVE FREE TRADING WEBINARS - I've scheduled the Webinars for Wednesday's from 6:00 PM EST to 8:00 PM EST and Saturday's from 11:00 AM EST to 1:00 PM EST - just to make the times a little easier to attend for those who work 9 to 5 during the week...

The cost of the full Volatility Illuminated package is $999.99, though I will discount the price to $99.99, if you register by February 15, 2010.

Again, this package is designed to help you become a real trader, who can make real money in stocks, options and Forex. I’m not going to show you a few tinsel technical tricks, I’m going to give you the tools you need to turn the corner into becoming a real trader.

There is no “holy grail” in trading, something real traders know. Real traders know that they understand markets, economics, politics and commodities to truly profit…

I will show you how to easily dissect all of the aforementioned, without spending countless hours doing so.

You don’t have to be a professional trader, economist, or mathematician... You just have to want to learn what really works.

P.S. Save $900.00 when you register by February 15, 2010… Registration will still be available after the 15th; however, full price will be required...

That's a 90% saving off the regular price. Again, if you register by February 15 2010, the cost is only $99.99.

Ma R k,

Your book is very powerful, a real game changer... an absolute work of genius.

N e w t o n illuminated natural forces,Einstein illuminated energy and now your work/book has finally broke through and illuminated the forces and energy behind price action and volatility in the markets... (Brilliant!)

On a personal note, my office book shelves are filled with trading books on all the popular subjects... personal psychology, money management, fundamental and analysis, technical analysis, etc... and at the end of the day, they start to all pretty much sound the same... I am actually embarrassed to admit how much time and effort I have put toward trying to learn and make all that stuff work.

Then comes along your book... The first read instantly changed my whole way of thinking and my approach to markets...

And yes, the chapter on Dr. WaterMelon Stuffer...

really pulled the curtain back, and your analogy made perfect sense.
